Michael Hurt thrilled that Gophers have picked Johnson as their next coach


I thought this was interesting; highlighting his frustrations with Pitino. . .or maybe just a shot at him?
What I think is great, the Gophers had just as good of season than Duke. At one point in the Gopher season we were rolling, that changed rather quickly
 






Hurt hits on what I think is an important point: Ben Johnson played DI basketball; Richard Pitino did not. I do think this creates a better understanding between coach and player and fosters some level of mutual respect. Does not guarantee success, obviously, but I think it can help.
